HELIX IK S12

Flat dimensions – deep bass

With the shallow HELIX IK S subwoofers, the realization of particularly flat and compact enclosure designs shouldn’t be a problem anymore. Its extremely low installation depth opens up new installation possibilities that do not require making any acoustic compromises at all. Additionally, thanks to the use of large voice coils and its low resonant frequency, the HELIX IK S series delivers an absolutely stunning bass performance, which is in no way inferior to larger dimensioned woofers.

Smart down to the very last detail

The enormously stiff sandwich paper cone in conjunction with our heavy-duty drive system easily converts amplifier power into powerful sound pressure without any compression effects, while simultaneously demonstrating finesse when it comes to more subtle beats. A special highlight: the magnet system has a threaded hole on the back and thus allows the woofer to be fixed to the back panel of the enclosure. Since every millimeter of depth counts in flat constructions, enclosure vibrations are effectively reduced – even with thin walls.

Flexible Connection

Designed as a 1 x 2 Ohms (SVC2) or 2 x 2 Ohms (DVC2) variant, you can find the right low bass specialist for any amplifier configuration to get the maximum performance out of it.

"All inclusive" for self-made enthusiasts

In addition to the high-quality connection terminal with gold-plated screw terminals, a solid protective grille and gasket are also included. For optimal bass performance in DIY installations you can find recommendations for sealed and vented enclosures with all parameters such as net volume, port tuning frequency or DSP settings in our technical data sheet.

Features

  • Chassis with particularly low installation depth – optimized for compact and shallow enclosure constructions
  • 2 x 2 Ohms dual voice coil for flexible system configuration
  • Magnet system with threaded hole on the back – allows screwing to the back panel of the enclosure for stabilization and reduction of enclosure vibrations
  • Extremely stiff sandwich paper cone
  • Long-excursion rubber surround for highest mechanical rating
  • Rugged magnet cover with HELIX lettering for perfect magnet protection
  • Enclosure connection terminal, grille and gasket included in delivery

Great everyday sunscreen
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Really impressed with this sunscreen. It’s a bit thick going on, but a little goes a long way. Once applied, it feels lightweight, not greasy or oily at all. Provides great coverage and protection, definitely a great product I’ll keep using.

The BEST sunscreen I've found
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my MUST HAVE sunscreen. I've had almost every type of skin cancer (thankfully, caught early), so I NEED good sun protection, especially on my face. I have very fair skin. This product leaves a bit of a white cast, but after a short period of time, that white case is absorbed. The white cast of a mineral sunscreen might look chalky on a person with darker skin. The BEST thing about this sunscreen is I can put it on my eyelids and under my eyes, it doesn't irritate my eyes AT ALL. The other well-known sunscreen I used for a long time really made my eyes sting if a bit got into them. This is my favorite sunscreen of all time.

Solid mineral SPF with light coverage effect
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’m used to La Roche-Posay’s chemical sunscreens, so this was my first time trying their mineral version. The texture is actually quite nice for a mineral formula. It spreads evenly and doesn’t feel gritty or chalky. That said, it does take a bit longer to fully absorb compared to chemical SPFs. I’m already very pale, and I still notice a slight white cast. It’s not extreme, but it’s there. To be fair, most mineral sunscreens tend to do this, especially those using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Interestingly, on my skin it almost behaves like a very light tinted sunscreen. It slightly blurs and softens the appearance of minor blemishes and redness, which I appreciate on minimal-makeup days. It provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection and feels gentle on sensitive skin. I haven’t experienced irritation, pilling, or breakouts. It layers reasonably well over moisturizer but benefits from being applied in thin, well-blended layers, which adds some time to my morning routine so it's a little inconvenient. Overall, it’s a solid mineral option with good protection. Just expect a bit more blending time and a subtle cast.

Great for pregnancy (or regular use)
Style: SPF 50, Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I searched far and wide for a safe mineral-based sunscreen for pregnancy. I settled on this one and I was not disappointed. It saved my skin from a lot of sunburn this summer! As other reviewers mentioned, it is harder to rub into the skin and can leave a whiteish tint, but that’s a small price to pay for a pregnancy-safe option.

Terrible, look like a ghost
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love La Roche-Posay but unfortunately, I finally came across the first product I truly hate from them. This product is a complete white mask on your face and does not settle in at all. You’ll be walking around looking like a ghost all day and it gave me a mild irritation to my eyes.
